OOOH!

My eyelids are convinced it is bed time, but my brain insists it cannot be bed time until I type the following:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY groolover! Your icon never fails to bring a smile to my face, and has ever since I first noticed your cheerfully reccing ways long before we friended each other. (I swear that I will one day take your advice and read Reparations by saras_girl!)

And LJ has just eaten the rest of this post, dammit! OK, there was something about you being a fabbo person and so supportive to writers, and making fandom a better place (all very true!), and then a comment that I would totally cycle across the Pennines for you, though that is less impressive than it sounds because they are not that mountainous really and I am a rather good cyclist and hill climber. Definitely ended on a wish for this being a year in which all your hard work is rewarded and hopes that it sees all your plans come together beautifully. Have an excellent one, dear!

I know I went further to wish happy birthday to the beautifully sepia-toned salixbabylon, and hopes that the day brings as much joy in the form of cheer, love and scantily clad menfolk to salix as salix does to the world. Have a great one, darling!

And I definitely ended with hopes that nedtheimpaler and violetage were having wonderful birthdays, wherever they may be these days, too.

I'm going to leave out the fancy formatting, I think that's where LJ spits the dummy ... And now, sleepy bobos!

Popping in here to just say that YOU MUST READ REPARATIONS AND FOUNDATIONS!!!

If you don't want to read, there's always podfic! XD

Reparations MP3 or Audiobook (M4B)
Foundations MP3 | Audiobook (M4B)

Oooh....I second the recs

Okay, so I mostly lurk, but I really really love your writing (and also you in general) but as am in Detroit, cannot practically stalk you. HOWEVER - Reparations and Foundations are truly fabulous, and based on how you write Harry and Draco and how I think you see them (esp. in Beneath Boundless Skies, one of my much-loved, much-much-much read comfort reads even though you kill [REDACTED] you shameless hussy) I think you'd like both.

Thank you so much for saying such nice things! And I do look forward to meeting you eventually. The Pennines seem like quite big hills to me, but I will bow to your experience :p

I suspect your main reason for not reading Reparations/Foundations is lack of time rather than lack of desire, so I'm sure you'll get there one day!

And I'm glad you like my icon! It seems to have become... well, iconic :p I could never change it now. Although I do need to get a replacement (but v similar) hat. That one is a bit tattered and slightly too small :-)

*smooch* Thank you! I'll let my husband know to bring home some of the scantily clad menfolk along with the flowers tonight. ;)

Oooh! You should definitely read Reparations as well as her new wip TURN! They are way too good to miss. :)
